We came here for a quick bite before seeing a show at Old National. We were able to order and get our food very quickly. I have heard from people who have came here before that their spice can get pretty spicy so I opted for No Spice for my first try. I also have to get Mac and cheese whenever it is offered. My meal came with two tenders, fries, pickles and Dave Sauce. The Dave Sauce is PHENOMENAL. I could eat that on everything. The fries were seasoned well and crispy. The macaroni and cheese was delicious. My friend got ... read more

Food was really good! I got the combo number 4 which came with one slider and fries. I got my slider extra hot which is the second highest on the scale. The chicken was really juicy and actually quite spicy, fries were great and I like the sauce it comes with. Service was polite and quick. Ambiance was just ok, but definitely a convenient location.

This was my first time ever trying Daves hot chicken so I was very excited! Walking into the location, there were not many people inside, but the kitchen was busy. I walked up to the counter for my to go order, and the cashier was rude and told me it wasn't ready yet. Another staff member behind her had my bag of food in her hand and was chit chatting with other staff while twirling my food around. When I told the cashier I thought my food was in her hand, she rolled her eyes, checked, and sure enough, it was my food. Once I... read more

Walked in on a Friday night and was able to walk right up to the register and order. Went for the #3. There was a few people in front of us so we waited about 8-10minutes for our food. We got it, hot and fresh. This is our 3 time here and every time it gets better. It's a big location and the inside is always clean and bright. This is one of new favorite spots.

Thanks to my husband's recent hot chicken obsession, we've had Dave's Hot Chicken several times over the last few non the. We typically order it as carryout and the process is quite seamless. The menu is fairly limited and consists of tenders, sliders and full sandwiches with sides like slaw and fries. I typically go for the medium heat tenders with fries. One of these days I'll splurge and try the cheesy fries. The space has several tables inside and is fairly casually, as one would expect. Parking can be a little tight alo... read more

I love hot chicken. I've tried it from almost every restaurant in the area. When I started working downtown a friend suggested trying Dave's. I was glad they did! The chicken is amazing! So flavorful and juicy. I got the medium the first two times, that will open your sinuses right up in the best way! The last few times I've gotten the mild and it's perfect. Topped with their sauce, kale slaw and pickles. And they have crinkle cut fries! My absolute favorite kind, sprinkled with just the right amount of their seasoning! Don'... read more

Today I had great experience in Dave's hot chicken. It was my first time trying out their food. Staff was so friendly. Great space to enjoy your meal. Love their spicy chicken. If you can't handle that much spice, I recommend getting medium spicy chicken with shake! Love the combo.

Ordered carry out here on a day when I was REALLY hungry. Got the two sliders meal. It was delicious! I went with medium spice and it had a good amount of heat to it without being unbearable. The sandwiches were so big it can hardly be called a slider. I didn't need to eat dinner later that day either. Not sure why Indy is suddenly booming with hot chicken places, but I'll definitely be back at Dave's! Would be nice to see a few more choices on the menu, but otherwise, this place is great.
